**What is Window MovieMaker?**
"Create, edit, and share your home movies right on your computer. Build your movie with a few simple drag-and-drops. Delete bad shots and include only the best scenes. Then share your movie via the Web, e-mail, or CD. Using third-party software you can even take movies you've made and turn them into DVDs. You can also save your movie back to the video tape in your camera to play back on a TV or on the camera itself." -Microsoft Corporation
Tip
It is best to work on your project on one computer. Working on it at home (and emailing the project back and forth) will cause problems (the pictures will not show up on the emailed project). Remember: all pictures and sound files need to be saved to the file you are working on. When your project is totally completed, it needs to be saved as a final movie. The timing, layout, and contents of the project are saved as one complete movie. Instructions for doing this can be found on the Windows Movie Maker program (Step 3: Finishing the Movie).

After Reading "Tales of the Fourth Grading Nothing" by Judy Blume, students created clayanimation stories about Peter's turtle, Dribble. Students used MovieMaker to put their animations together.
